  2. Maybe the US government should take some ideas from this. After spending a lot of money developing the next-gen uncooled LWIR sensor, the US has still lost the technical advantage in that domain to the French.

  11. The last post is correct. Some technologies and devices are widely spreaded mainly by European companies. Too much restriction on US products will hurt their business.
